</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="font-weight: medium; text-decoration: none">
Each of the tabs is discussed below.</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">General</H2>
<P CLASS="western">This tab has options that control ClamWin's
behaviour when scanning, and what ClamWin should do about infected
files. The <B>Scanning Options</B> control ClamWin's behaviour when
scanning. Any combination of options can be selected. The options are
as follows:</P>
<P CLASS="western"><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><B>Display
Infected Files Only:</B></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
When ClamWin is running a scan, it displays the names of the files as
it scans them. If this option is selected, ClamWin will only display
the names of files that have been detected as infected. Selecting
this option may slightly increase scanning speed.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><B>Scan In
Subdirectories:</B></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
Select this option to have ClamWin scan subdirectories as well as the
directory specified.</SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><B>Display
File Scanned % Progress Indicator:</B></SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal"><SPAN STYLE="text-decoration: none"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
If this option is selected, ClamWin will display the name of the file
that is at that moment being scanned, with the progress in
percentages between brackets. For archives, a rotating line will be
shown, indicating the scan is proceeding.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western">The <B>Infected Files</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
options control determine what action ClamWin should take if it
detects a virus. Only one option can be selected. The options are:</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>Report Only: </B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">If
this option is selected, ClamWin only reports that a virus was found.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>Remove (Use Carefully): </B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">If
this option is selected, ClamWin will </SPAN><I><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">permanently</SPAN></I><SPAN STYLE="font-style: normal"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
delete</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium"> the infected
file. The file will not be placed in Windows' Recycle Bin.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>Move To Quarantine Folder:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
If this option is selected, ClamWin will move the </SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-GB"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">infected</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
file to the designated folder. To change the folder, enter the path
in the text box, or click on the </SPAN><B>... </B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">button
to browse to a folder.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="font-weight: medium">If a file with the
same name is already present in the quarantine folder, then ClamWin
will append a dot followed by a number to the new file, to avoid
over-writing the existing file. E.g. if a file named <FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">eicar.com</SPAN></FONT>
is in the quarantine folder, and a virus is found in a file named
<FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">eicar.com</SPAN></FONT>,
then the second copy will be moved to the quarantine folder and
renamed to <FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">eicar.com.000</SPAN></FONT>,
a third copy would be moved and renamed to <FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">eicar.com.001</SPAN></FONT>,
etc.</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="font-weight: medium">Finally, the <B>Unload
Infected Programs from Computer Memory</B> option determines whether
ClamWin should try to unload a file from memory, if it detects it to
be infected while performing a memory scan.  This is necessary to
successfully quarantine such a file.</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Filters</H2>
<P CLASS="western">On this tab, ClamWin can be configured to scan
only certain types of files, or to ignore certain types of files. The
two can be combined to give greater control over what types of files
are scanned.</P>

</P>
<P CLASS="western">Specific files can be filtered by specifying the
full path, e.g.:</P>
<P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2 STYLE="font-size: 11pt">C:\Path\to\folder\File.ext</FONT></FONT></P>
<P CLASS="western">Folders can be filtered by specifying the path,
and including a *  at the end, e.g.:</P>
<P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2 STYLE="font-size: 11pt">C:\Path\to\folder\*</FONT></FONT></P>
<P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3>Note
that * will not match \, so if you want to include or exclude a
folder with all sub-folders you need to use a regular expression
syntax and add .* (dot star) at the end:</FONT></FONT></P>
<P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Courier New, monospace"><FONT SIZE=2 STYLE="font-size: 11pt">&lt;C:<A HREF="//Path//to//folder//"></A><A HREF="//Path//to//folder//"></A><A HREF="//Path//to//folder//">\\Path\\to\\folder\\</A><A HREF="//Path//to//folder//"></A><A HREF="//Path//to//folder//"></A>.*&gt;</FONT></FONT></P>
<P CLASS="western"><FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif"><FONT SIZE=3>Regular
expressions are enclosed in &lt;&gt; tags and \\ is needed because \
is a reserved character.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P CLASS="western"><BR><BR>
</P>
<P CLASS="western">Regular expressions can be used for greater
flexibility, but must be contained within angle brackets
(&lt;RegularExpression&gt;). Information about regular expressions,
including tutorials, are readily available on the web. Just use your
favourite search engine to search for <B>regular expression tutorial</B>.</P>
<P CLASS="western">By default, the following patterns are excluded
from virus scans:</P>
<P CLASS="western">*.dbx (used by Microsoft Outlook Express to store
e-mails <SPAN LANG="en-GB">etc.</SPAN>)</P>
<P CLASS="western">*.tbb (used by Ritlabs The Bat! to store e-mails

<P CLASS="western"><B>Enable Automatic Virus Database Updates:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
When this option is selected, then ClamWin will automatically check
for and download database updates. How often it checks and at what
time can be set by the user.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western">If ClamWin is not running (or the computer is
switched off) at the time specified, the update will be applied the
next time ClamWin is started (which will normally be the next time
the computer is switched on). The only exception is if the update
frequency is set to &quot;workdays&quot;, in which case it won't do
anything until Monday. 
</P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="font-weight: medium">The address of the
server to be queried can be set manually. Most users will want to
leave this at the default setting (database.clamav.net). However, if
you have a local server that mirrors database.clamav.net, you can
enter its address instead.  For a list of mirrors, check out
<A HREF="http://www.clamav.net/"></A><A HREF="http://www.clamav.net/"></A><A HREF="http://www.clamav.net/">http://www.clamav.net</A><A HREF="http://www.clamav.net/"></A><A HREF="http://www.clamav.net/"></A>.</P>
<P CLASS="western"><BR><BR>

<P CLASS="western"><B>Warn if Virus database is Out of Date: </B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">If
this option is selected, ClamWin will warn you when your database is
not actual anymore.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western"><B>Update Virus Database On Logon:</B><SPAN STYLE="font-weight: medium">
If this option is selected, ClamWin will check for database updates
when a user logs on to the PC.</SPAN></P>
<P CLASS="western" STYLE="font-weight: medium"><B>Notify About New
ClamWin Releases:</B> If this option is selected, ClamWin will check
for new releases.  This check is run five minutes after startup of
ClamWin, and every 24 hours after that.</P>
<H2 CLASS="western">Proxy</H2>
<P CLASS="western">If you connect to the Internet via a proxy server,
enter the details on this tab. If not, leave the details blank.  Most
users do not use a proxy server, and so can safely ignore this tab.</P>
